Optically pure (S)-cyclopent-2-en-1-ol, D20 -137.9 deg (c 1.1, CHCl3), and (S)-3-methoxycyclopentene, D20 -116.9 deg (c 3.86, n-hexane), were prepared from ethyl (1R,2S)-2-hydroxycylopentanecarboxylate, which is readily available by yeast reduction of ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate.The optical purity of the alcohol was determined from its Mosher ester, and that of the ether by gas chromatography using a Ni-4-Pin column.
